 Does it mean that there are no devices on this bus that can do DMA?

 Usually there should be a dma-ranges property to identify that DMA
 is possible and what the limits are, though we have failed to enforce
 that.

Generally, USB devices are accessed through the IOMMU. However, even in this
case, dma-ranges is not necessarily required. There are many examples of this
in arch/arm64/boot/dts/. For example: arch/arm64/boot/dts/arm/juno.dt.yaml.

Not sure, but maybe I found the answer.

vi drivers/of/address.c +457
457   Thus we treat the absence of
458  * "ranges" as equivalent to an empty "ranges" property which means
459  * a 1:1 translation at that level.

466  * This quirk also applies for 'dma-ranges' which frequently exist 
in
467  * child nodes without 'dma-ranges' in the parent nodes. --RobH

475 if (ranges == NULL || rlen == 0) {
476 offset = of_read_number(addr, na);
477 memset(addr, 0, pna * 4);
478 pr_debug("empty ranges; 1:1 translation\n");
479 goto finish;
480 }

By the way: At first, I thought that these errors was detected by YAML. Now,
I found that it was generated by "make dtbs". That's why it was reported by
any YAML. Thus, the need to fix these errors is even more urgent.

The swiotlb is primarily about the streaming mappings with dma_map_*(),
which has to copy all data sent to the device. dma_alloc_coherent()
is a rare operation and less impacted by DMA limitations.

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/iommu/iommu.txt +79
When an "iommus" property is specified in a device tree node, the IOMMU will
be used for address translation. If a "dma-ranges" property exists in the
device's parent node it will be ignored. An exception to this rule is if the
referenced IOMMU is disabled, in which case the "dma-ranges" property of the
parent shall take effect.

The dma-ranges is only required by IOMMU disabled case. And should exist in
the parent node of IOMMU device. But this deleted dma-ranges is under the usb
bus node.

The dma_alloc_coherent() will allocate memory with GFP_DMA32 flag and
try the 0-4G first. The reserved swiotlb buffer memory is used only
when the allocation failed.

 memory@8000:
device_type: ["memory"]
reg: [[0x0, 0x8000, 0x0, 0x8000], [0x8, 0x8000, 0x1, 
0x8000]]

If this is the actual physical memory size, the #address-cells should be set to 
<1>.

Does it mean that there are no devices on this bus that can do DMA?

Usually there should be a dma-ranges property to identify that DMA
is possible and what the limits are, though we have failed to enforce
that.

Also note that the #address-cells=<1> means that any device under
this bus is assumed to only support 32-bit addressing, and DMA will
have to go through a slow swiotlb in the absence of an IOMMU.
